Summary

This study will provide information about the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a biobehavioral self-management approach for perinatal depressive symptoms. This line of research will contribute to the body of knowledge about adjunctive therapies for depressive symptoms in pregnancy, a serious problem which contributes to poor maternal-child outcomes. Ultimately, this will contribute to the development and implementation of theoretically driven depression prevention/ resiliency building interventions and measurement of appropriate biobehavioral outcomes to determine the effectiveness of interventions.
